I found the whole Armour King thing to be really silly. It would have been better if they just left it a mystery. Then again, pretty much all storylines in Tekken 6 feel like a cop-out. I only liked a few of them and they were all the funny ones (which is pretty much 80% of all the endings in the game).

Even though Tekken 4 used the game engine to render its Endings, they were still far better than anything else in the Tekken series. Each ending was long, drawn-out, and made sense. Sometimes they even intertwined (Lei is chasing Nina who is chasing Steve who finds out Nina is his mother).

Tekken 5's FMVs were gorgeous -- the best in the series, but the endings were shorter and overall more focused on humour or randomness (aka, back to the Tekken 2 style Endings). Oh look! Steve doesn't care about his mother anymore! Oh look, Nina and Anna hate eachother again! Oh look, Feng Wei is so strong that he can punch mountains apart!

Tekken 6's Endings are just a lower-budget version of Tekken 5's Endings... Even shorter, cornier, and devoid of any real plot advancement. The quality of the CGI isn't even as good as Tekken 5's... The Armour King Ending is just a total cop-out. After all this time waiting to see the big secret of Armour King, we find out it's just his brother!? Come on! I'd rather have it so that Armour King actually DID come back from the dead. or better yet, just leave it a mystery until they could have thought of something better.

I noticed that Tekken 4 has only 19 characters, the endings are longer than any ending in the series.

Tekken 5 has about 30 characters, and the endings' are mostly shorter than Tekken 4 endings.

Tekken 6 has 40 characters and the endings' have been shorten again.

It's like the more characters the game has, the endings durate compared to the character amount. More characters -> Shorter endings.
